Walk Description: Returning for its third year, but now on Thursdays, it’s the Stapleton Sunrise walk. We will meet at the same location every week, and we’ll journey around the Northfield neighborhoods, exploring the various parks, trails, and secret spots of Stapleton’s newest neighborhoods. Come get to know your neighbors or the neighborhood.

Walking Movement Leader: Chris Englert, founding member-owner of Walk2Connect co-op is known as Denver’s Urban Hiker. She leads walks within Denver’s C470 loop and is author of The Best Urban Hikes: Denver. Walking around Denver gets enthusiasts ready for her global walking vacations, which you can find details at www.EatWalkLearn.com. Come chat, walk, and connect with Chris as she gifts this walk to you weekly in Stapleton.
